In communities plagued by conflict along ethnic, racial, and
religious lines, how does the representation of
previously-marginalized groups in the police affect crime and
security? Drawing on new evidence from policing in Iraq and Israel,
Policing for Peace shows that an inclusive police force provides
better services and reduces conflict, but not in the ways we might
assume. Including members of marginalized groups in the police
improves civilians' expectations of how the police and government
will treat them, both now and in the future. These expectations are
enhanced when officers are organized into mixed rather than
homogeneous patrols. Iraqis indicate feeling most secure when
policed by mixed officers, even more secure than they feel when
policed by members of their own group. In Israel, increases in
police officer diversity are associated with lower crime
victimization for both Arab and Jewish citizens. In many cases,
inclusive policing benefits all citizens, not just those from
marginalized groups.
